February 2013: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

So besides Abby's birthday, I did not take a ton of pictures this month. It was yet another busy month filled with lots of friends and fun! Jay and Syd came to play.
We went to a really fun outdoor winter festival that our town apparently holds every year. It was wonderful! We just found out about it from our neighbors, which is perfect because it is the first year Abby would have been able to really enjoy it anyhow. There was a petting zoo, pony rides, sledding, hot cocoa, and a hay ride. And it was all FREE. We will definitely be going every year! Abby LOVED the pony ride and finally warmed up to sledding. She would say more every time we went down the hill before we even stopped moving. It was a great day.
Abby has really taken to her baby dolls. She loves carrying them around and pushing them around the house in the baby doll stroller she has. Good practice for being a big sister :) She will even bring them over to me and tell me they want "ma" and make me pretend to nurse the babies. So silly.
We went to a very fun Valentine's day party with Christa and a bunch of her homeschool friends. Abby had a ball running around with all of the kids. And then they all exchanged valentine's. I made her a special box for all of her goodies. (Of course I don't have any pictures of the actual party, just of her goodie box haha)
 She got to play with Anshu,  go to the library. She is a flexible little one.
She got a GIANT stuffed hedgehog as an early birthday gift from my cousin Kim. She loves playing with it and getting rides around the house on it haha.
Then it was finally the big day!! Baby Girl turned 2!! Jamie and Tessa came in for her birthday and we went to one of Abby's favorite places for one of her favorite foods, FroYo! Papa, Far Far, Grandma, Great Grandma, Erin, and Joe all met us there to celebrate!
This is what Abby does when you say "smile!"
 What a different two years makes!!
Love her so much!!
We had a few friends over to celebrate on the night of her birthday and sang the birthday song, and she even blew out her candle by herself! Such a big girl!
Then the next day we had a nice little birthday luncheon for her. It was perfect.
 
Jodi and Mike came in from out of town, and brought Abby a Tricycle for her birthday! It was also from Great Grandma and Grandpa Ross, too, and she loved it! She also got a really fun pink scooter from Uncle Drew and Auntie Aimee that she can't wait to use. Every time we go to get in the car she goes over to it and says she wants to use it. Hopefully soon the weather will break for good and we can be out on it all the time! She had lots of little friends come to her party, too! So much fun!
Here's a clip of our little problem solver figuring out how to get to the sink to watch her hands after using the potty.
Abby also got a new full size big girl bed for her birthday! Now to work on transitioning her to sleep in it! She is also wearing underwear and out of diapers except for overnight. She is doing very well with the potty training and we couldn't be prouder. She is also talking up a storm now and getting easier and easier to understand by the day. Can't believe our Abigail is 2 already! Can't wait to see what the next year brings!
